Sony Computer Entertainment of America has filed a trademark for a game, or something called “Destiny of Spirits.” The trademark is most likely a new game, as the it’s covered in the use of “computer game software: electronic game software for handheld electronic devices; video game software.”

The NPD data is always a bit skewed because it doesn’t track online retailers like Amazon for instance, but it doesn give you a idea of how games and systems are doing. The industry is down overall by 27% from last year. However, the Vita and Wii U are picking up some steam.

Sony has discussed the PS Vita’s poor performance in the sales market in a interview with Famitsu. The firm admitted the PS Vita is well behind the companies initial projections. However, with the price drop and new software coming, Sony hopes to jumpstart sales.

If anything it would be cool if Sony can adapt that technology to their IPs. The only problem is, we’ve only seen cross platform play, not asymmetrical gameplay like NintendoLand’s Find Mii mini game.
